Glory 58 Chicago Scheduled for New Date: Friday, Sept. 14

Jul 12, 2018

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Fans in the Chicagoland area will be getting
this summer's GLORY action sooner than expected. The world's
premier kickboxing league today announced that GLORY 58 Chicago
will take place one day sooner than previously scheduled.

The heavyweight division's No. 1-ranked fighter Benjamin "Mister
Gentleman" Adegbuyi (30-5, 18 KO, fighting out of Romania) has
fought and won three times in the Chicago area since joining GLORY,
including a one-night contender tournament victory at GLORY 50
Chicago in February.

On Friday, Sept. 14, Adegbuyi returns to trade leather with
hard-hitting Jahfarr Wilnis (31-9-1, 8 KO, fighting out of the
Netherlands), who is ranked No. 5 after his impressive upset of
Jamal Ben Saddik at GLORY 53 Lille in May.

Adegbuyi and Wilnis went toe-to-toe for three rounds at GLORY 24
Denver in 2015, resulting in a Fight of the Year nomination and a
split decision win for Adegbuyi. Following their hotly contested
first bout, both fighters will be looking to leave their mark on
this rematch.

Additional fight card details for GLORY 58 Chicago, as well as
GLORY 58 SuperFight Series and the GLORY 58 prelims, will be
announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for GLORY 58 Chicago, with prices ranging $35 - $170, go on
sale to the public at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, July 20 and will be
available for online purchase at searscentre.com and at the Sears
